Says Paul Baker - in fact the Robins are set to turn a profit:

Interesting to hear our budget is not in the Top 6 in this league.

Shows what a good job Gary is doing compared to pennocks like the hapless Hurst at Grimsby.

So, in no particular order, those with bigger budgets than us:
FGR, Eastleigh, Grimsby, Tranmere, Wrexham, plus (at least) one other?

Perhaps it's better for Baker to say that publicly especially when future fees and wages are being negotiated?

£astleigh are apparently looking at a new ground now so their backer - Mr Bridle Insurance, isn't looking to up sticks just yet.

Interesting that there are 6 other clubs with higher budgets than ourselves. Ecotricity, £astleigh, Tranmere, Grimsby and Wrexham probably not surprising given their owners or fan base, as for the other, maybe Barrow or Lincoln?

There were rumours that Barrow had money at the start of the season. I find it hard to think it might be Lincoln as I thought they were in dire straits and all sorts being threatened a few months ago.

Might well be Barrow: http://www.skysports.com/football/news/ ... five-years" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Maybe Gateshead: http://www.gateshead-fc.com/5427/new-ow ... -gateshead" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Chester probably on the fiddle again so who knows what their budget is.

Yes it seems odd that Barrow/Gateshead have a higher budget when you look at their squads it's very mediocre.
